The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts. The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins, PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.

BeatForce is a computer DJing system, with two
players with independent playlist, song database,
mixer, sampler etc. It was planned as a feature
enhanced Linux replacement for BPM-Studio from
Alcatech.

BpmDj is a program that can be used by a DJ. It
plays MP3 and Ogg files. It has a fully automatic
BPM counter. It can determine the sound color. It
has a full fledged Qt based interface. It will
help you manage a large amount of songs. It can
help in creating playlists and has proven to be
very robust. The program also allows offline
automatic mixing and contains a wavelet based beat
graph analyzer to visualize audio tracks.

ChibiTracker is a portable IT (Impulse Tracker)
clone. It is not an exact clone though, as it adds
more features, such as chorus and reverb, stereo
samples, an advanced sample editor, and more. The
user interface also presents some changes, as it
can be custom themed and resized.

Emergency CD 3 GE is a live Linux CD console
intended mainly for console use. It based on the
Gentoo live CD and includes many filesystems, access
and recovery software, network discovery and
diagnostic tools, and some multimedia utilities.

Funkyou is a solution for DJs that includes MP3
mixing, light controlling via an RS-232 or DMX
interface, WAV samples, and a crossfader. It is
designed for easy use, and can function optionally
with a touchscreen. It has support for radio DJs
and a switchable speaking clock.

GSmartMix provides a smart control of the audio on
GNOME. There is also an applet which allows manual
adjustment of sound per application. Each
application using GStreamer can benefit from this
project without any intrusive patch. Other
applications should implement the D-Bus interface
proposed with GSmartMix to be seen by the smart
manager.

GVolWheel is a lightweight application which lets
you control the audio volume easily through a tray
icon you can scroll on. It is easily integrated
with minimal desktops (such as Openbox, IceWM, or
XFCE).

Gemu is a Gnome application designed to configure sound cards based on the EMU10K1 platform from Creative Labs. Gemu is capable of adding, viewing and deleting audio routes, turning on Live Drive IR, turning on the 12db boost to the front/headphone jacks on Live cards, setting the S/PDIF frequency on Audigy cards, setting the recording source, turning on digital passthrough mode, setting to the analog or digital mode of the dual-mode jack of 5.1 cards, adding and seeing patches for sources and destinations, and controlling volume on a per-route basis or by source or destination.
